dashboard

A question that we receive often in the Plaza is one related to the System RAM Status on the user dashboards. Everyone wants to know… Why is it so damn high!?!

Well, the answer is more simple and easy to imagine than you may think. Here’s a real quick explanation.

System RAM Status Widget

The short and sweet version is: It’s completely normal.

The longer version is: Pay attention to ‘Real Memory‘ as the Cached Memory and Physical Memory are normal to show as high usage. They are only a reflection of the actual memory usage. Real Memory is the actual amount of memory being used on your system. You’ll even notice this on the widget showcase on our very own home page.

You’ll notice there is also a ‘Clear Memory Cache‘ button in the bottom right corner of the widget. This does nothing more than clear out the temporary stored memory. Under most use-cases, there is no need to flush your cached memory unless you notice that your swap is filling up fast, as cached values will roll over to swap. This keeps things speedier on your system as it is remembering past values to be able to access functions on various applications faster. It’s like your short term memory and remembering your car keys before leaving the house.

In short, no. This is in part owed to the dependencies being different from the standard x86-64 architecture (AMD64). Moreover, QuickBox has no plans in the foreseeable future involving actively working towards this conversion.

guru services

On purchase of your Guru Installation, a QuickBox verified moderator will notify you immediately upon the acceptance of your project. QuickBox moderators will only contact members through the Plaza via a secured Private Message. After necessary contact has been made, the Guru handling your install will then login to your provided server and take care of the installation of your QuickBox application. We will ensure that everything is working 100% before delivery.

Please note:

This service only handles installation. Additional add-ons are available for any other requirements you may have.

We recommend using RAID0 and using mount point/(root). Removing the/home mount point if possible from your server allows more room for all your apps such as plex if it grows fast as some will. Additional to the QuickBox dashboard will only recognize and support/(root) and/home .

? We currently do not support custom and/or additional mounts such as/data ,/media etc.
